Semi-Auto Dwarven Crossbow


Nero667

Recommended Posts

You got me thinking of a Dwemer soulgem-powered, steam-action semi-auto "bullpup" style Chu-ko-nu. Underneath, a spring fed, double-column, staggered-row, 20 round, rectangular long box magazine, uniquely capable of firing regular vanilla arrows, including enchanted ones (hence the "bullpup" configuration that shortens weapon length), instead of standard crossbow bolts. This weapon, unenchanted, would also likely have range and damage in the daedric or dragonbone class of weapons.

I Imagine a petty soulgem wouldn't power it for long, say 25 seconds, a grand soulgem might last a few minutes, to try to keep it balanced.

Cheers and regards, AmadanBezerk

I like AmandanBezerk's idea. I just reminiscing to when I first played Mass Effect with weapons that overheated for some reason.

Check out the Flintlock Pistol Mod if you have the time. They can probably assign the same principle, but given that it's a staff maybe not.

if you draw some concept art for me i can make the model :) or have a picture of something similar ....

 

ive offered to make models on here before but people just cant be bothered to get concept art together most of the time

 

so yeah this sounds cool and i will make it if i know what you people want it to look like :)

It's not that people don't "bother", it's that they can't create them. Which is not weird, there is as many concept artist as there are animators. We modellers outnumber any concept artist here 5:1, and modellers outnumber the other modders by 150:1.

So, you can draw your own concept art of it, or patch it together with lots of other reference -- like the rest of us do daily.

 

Google "Crossbow concept" for some concepts on basic crossbow shapes.

Google some general "Steampunk" for an idea of what Bethesda based Dwemer art on.

Look up on previous dwemer made stuff, which you will find in every TES game. The differences in steampunk and dwemer engineering.

Draw out an idea on how the mechanics will work.

Make it.

 

Albeit I am all for calling the majority of requestors lazy, I am also not fond of modellers not being able to understand why it is so. If it is something technical, a concept art is not enough. And frankly, this idea is both heavy in the technical, and artistic, field. A challenge, to name it differently.

you misunderstand me !

 

 

i asked for art or pictures so as i can build up a picture of what people want .... i have no problem with drawing my own concept art or googling for some images i was only asking for images from other people to get different points of view

 

is that clearer ???

I meant no offense with what I said. I apologize if I came around as that.

My point was simply that we got the idea the OP asked for, and we got enough to work with. And the fact is that there is very little concept that would match what is said. Mostly because steampunk is a fantasy genre, and most fantasy genre don't got too much concept on it -- not when dealing with detailed technical stuff.
